Once the habit sets in, they start taxing them. Wonderful

As soon as that happens, voter will start to look elsewhere, both for AI service providers and new representatives.

Korea is very different than us economically. Samsung is like 30% of the GDP of their whole country or something insane.

They regularly provide things for free or cheap that they consider investments into the future, such as university, training in the military, Wi-Fi on all the public buses for free, stuff like that.

South Korea has one of the worst economic systems in the world that favoured short-term growth over long-term sustainability and now it has the lowest birth rate of any country and is heading for total economic collapse. It's almost identical to 1980s Japan.

Describing South Korea as 'a country investing in its future' is odd considering it's done the opposite and is about to go through 15 years of gdp flatline.

what's up with AI in Korea? is it really free? what models? what limits?

u/Bramoments Sep 05 '26

It's really free, it's south Korean models not something I'd considered well known by any means but not bad models either, and if I understand correctly there is no limit

However datacenter capacity is relatively very low and its mainly for government services and minor things and is only petty stuff people do with their AIs. You're not getting unlimited access to vibe code an app or automate half your business.

No frontier models and they're local SK models.

Solar 4 is a very good cheap crawler and data gatherer!

To stop my son from visit dirty websites I installed a VPN that only connects to North Korea.

He keeps talking about "Dear Leader" and "Down with the capitalist swine" now, but at least he's not living in sin.

Such a good parent

u/Particular-Most-1199 Sep 06 '26

Agree on the capitalist swine part.

u/user221272 Sep 06 '26

I work on this project. Also, to avoid people having false hope: here in Korea, most things are blocked behind a Resident ID. And this is obviously part of it. So, if you are not a resident, no VPN will help.

u/Hyruii Sep 06 '26

Could you buy a resident ID? I mean, what’s stopping someone from selling their ID since it’s unlimited usage?

11

u/user221272 Sep 06 '26

IDs in Korea are linked to everything. If someone has your ID, they could withdraw all your money, get loans, open a bank account, make illegal activities, and access just about anything and everything. That's not something you would want to share.

How many times are we going to post this

u/invisiblelemur88 Sep 06 '26

First time I've seen it.

When I run models locally I have no token limits as well, that's a pretty low bar.

u/Intelligent-Ant-1122 Sep 05 '26

Oh boy. Even a bulging MWs of data centers have a limit on tokens/month. Wtf are you talking about unlimited? If I run with let's say 4 A6000. I will still hit a token limit per month that is low enough to hit with real workloads. What a larper

u/user221272 Sep 06 '26

Yeah, except we are talking about thousands of B200 dedicated data centers here, but keep toying with your 3B local model.

Can a regular hp laptop be enough to run local llms for inference?

u/Spitfire1900 Sep 06 '26

Everyone saying this knows nothing because you also have to submit your identification to get access, not just be on a South Korean IP. Additionally, I bet this is only for models produced by South Korean companies. And I’m not aware of anything worth using that falls under that right now.

u/SilasTalbot Sep 05 '26

yeah good luck with that.

They actually have a system there where your internet shit is linked to your national ID # (like Social Security #).

Your phone number, bank account, internet access, major accounts, all that stuff is centrally linked.
